President Trump is again criticizing CNN

CNN is firing back at President Trump after he tweeted out on Saturday that the news network was representing the U.S. "very poorly" to the world.

Trump had tweeted on Saturday, November 25: “.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!”

The Twitter account for CNN quickly responded, “It’s not CNN’s job to represent the U.S to the world. That’s yours. Our job is to report the news.  #FactsFirst”. The tweet also included an apple emoji, a nod to their recent “Facts First” ad campaign.  . The response garnered more than 64,000 retweets and 9,400 comments.

Trump, 71, has found himself engaged in a war of the words with CNN since his campaign and throughout his presidency, largely referring to the outlet as “fake news.”

Saturday’s comments come as the Justice Department’s attempts to block a potential merger between AT&T and Time Warner are under scrutiny. The Justice Department has reportedly told AT&T to sell CNN's parent company, though AT&T denied that it offered to do so.
